Sadly, it's just a coincidence and my Laurie is not this author. But will def read this one. Love anything by fellow cat fanatics!

Even though I had a little trouble relating to the heartbreak of divorce in her first book, I still enjoyed it. I liked this second book better because it was more upbeat but both are terrific.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-13956121210419018572010-02-23T14:03:39.973-06:002010-02-23T14:03:39.973-06:00Definitely more upbeat!

I think Home is Where the Wine Is was a lot more upbeat and it did make me laugh out loud a few times. The square watermelons and the gardener were hilarious.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-68358442398375468842010-02-23T07:20:55.085-06:002010-02-23T07:20:55.085-06:00I'm the final stop on the tour, and I think I ...I'm the final stop on the tour, and I think I have about 10 pages left. I'm not sure I love this one as much as Drunk, Divorced and Covered in Cat Hair, but she is still a hoot and a lot of fun.
